This 2nd grade sight words list combines the 46 Dolch second grade words with Fry's second 100, minus anything already on the kindergarten or 1st grade lists. The result is 88 words, including because, does, don't, through, different, picture, answer and should.

Print the checklist and check off the words your child reads instantly. Second grade is when reading the word and spelling it start to go together, so use the missing-letters and sentence worksheets for words your child reads but still misspells. Our 2nd grade spelling words follow the same school year.

Tips for using it

  • Through, should and different are worth extra spelling practice.
  • Read the list aloud together once a week; it takes under two minutes when words are known.

Questions

How many sight words should a 2nd grader know?

Expectations vary, but by the end of 2nd grade many kids read all Dolch words through second grade and Fry's first 200 or so.

What if my 2nd grader still struggles with kindergarten sight words?

Go back to those words first and check phonics skills. Persistent trouble can be a sign to ask the school about a reading screener.
